We’re happy to introduce our newest video feature, “C/D Underbelly,” which could be summed up as “guys with a lift put cars on it, look underneath them, and start talking.” To be a bit more descriptive, C/D Underbelly takes you on a technical tour of the coolest and most interesting cars that swing through Car and Driver HQ.

The first installment, which we’ve embedded here, sees technical editor Eric Tingwall comparing and contrasting the V-12–powered Mercedes-Benz CL600 and CL65 AMG. With plenty to discuss and plenty of glorious V-12 sounds, it’s hard to go wrong. Next week brings a look at our long-term Ford Mustang GT‘s seedier side courtesy of technical director Don Sherman—but the fun won’t stop there. Subscribe to our YouTube channel or keep an eye on our site for more installments down the road. Enjoy!
